Hey! Actually the program is quite bad with handling plugins, so even if you placed it in the folder it wouldn't notice. My plan is to focus on modding and plugins in the update after the one i'm working on now.
If you want to use plugins and mods at the same time you should create a spigot server. Currently downloading a spigot server file is bugged out too, so it won't be the easiest thing, sorry :S

And thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you like the program! I hope you will like it even more when I'm finally done with the next update.

Thanks for the fast reply. Is there something i can do as a workaround until its fixed?

You can use the trick that works for any server types.

1. Go to this website, and download the Spigot verison you want.
2. In your server's settings navigate to the 'Advanced' tab, and click the 'Open server folder' button.
3. Place the downloaded version file in the folder and rename it to "minecraft_server.jar" (make sure thet .jar is the extension of the file, not part of the name)
4. Reload your server and click the start button."

Hi! I'm sorry to hear that. A few people have reported this issue, and I still have no idea what causes it. But most of the people reported that the error just goes away after a while. I'm sorry that I can't help you more

Please, help me. I'm trying to create a server with my friends, but they can't join with the public IP, neither I can. What should I do?

Hello! Can you join your server using your local ip? You probably forgot to portforward. If you have registered and became a premium user (for free) than you can use the open port button on the first settings tab. If that fails for some reason you will have to port-forward manually, but don't worry, there are plenty of good tutorials online!

Edit: I checked if my port was open to both TCP and UDP and it's just open to TCP, not UDP. Is that a problem?

I think you are trying to port forward on the default port (192.168.0.1). However you need to put your own computer's local ip there. I recommend you try to add a DHCP rule on your router, which will bind a spedific local ip (like 192.168.0.110) to your computer (using your MAC address). After you have done that, you can be sure that the port forwarding will keep working for you computer

I know it might sound a bit complicated, but there are YouTube tutorials online explaining how to do it

Where do I need to put my own computer's local IP? On "IP adress"? Because that's what I did, I just painted it so people couldn't see my IP but, it is my local IP.

Oh my bad, I just assumed based on the error message. (By the way you don't need to hide your local ip from the public, only your public ip if you are afraid of attacks)

After some googling I found that some other people are having the same issue, but on a different port. This site might help you. It's talking about port 80, but I'm guessing your error is similar but using 25565.

Hey! This is a strange issue, and I'm not sure what is causing it. What I'm sure of is that it's not caused by the program. I advise you try running on the default port of minecraft (25565), and try to update your Java (link)

Want to know this: Will I have to set up anything else to be able to host a Minecraft Server from home if I pay for "one click port forwarding"? I don't want to know a damn thing about port forwarding. It's a subject that I hate, and I think it should be made a lot simpler, and I refuse to learn anything about this mess while it is as low level as it is now. Let me know when I can say "Cortana, make Minecraft Server public", and Windows does the rest, until then, this is not for me.

I don't want to deal with port forwarding or any of that sh*t. Is this software a guaranteed way to avoid all of that? Like the plug'n'play equivalent of all port forwarding, no matter my router, my modem, my firewall?

Hey! First of all, let's not forget that you do NOT have to pay for using the port forwarder button. Yeah, you do need to register and upgade you account to premium (where you can choose not to pay a dime for real). It's ok if you don't pay for it I totally understand

But I can't guarantee that the button will work. The button uses a feature called UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), which allows the program to take care of it for you. But this feature has many downsides, for example many routers and computers don't support it or have it disabled.

So I can't promise you that it will work. But it's free, so it's worth a shot

That's funny, the last comment was saying the exact same thing, so read my reply. (how on earth did you syncronize your comments this well? I've never got a message about this, and now 2 at the same time)

EDIT: the program uses plug and play. So it can't do anything without those things letting it
